1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:00,440
Speaker 1: Ride.

2
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 2: Gee, it must be Italian.

3
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:04,120
Speaker 3: Ron An Aian.

4
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:07,600
Speaker 2: What Garrett had done was he tried to replace the

5
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:10,119
Speaker 2: air filter on this Q fifty and he didn't have

6
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 2: the air cleaner would lined up exactly right. And when

7
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:16,239
Speaker 2: he tried to get the top cliff, then it was

8
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:19,320
Speaker 2: under such loaded snapped the corner of the plastic housing off.

9
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 2: The car Doctor. Four wheel drive, got.

10
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 4: Four wheel drive.

11
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,599
Speaker 5: Okay, it seems to be running just fine and everything. See,

12
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 5: you're going just fine on it.

13
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 2: Give it a dark dawn if you put it in

14
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 2: four wheel drive doesn't always go away. I don't know.

15
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 2: I've never tried that because I'm usually going pretty fast

16
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 2: when it happened, sud dry out kid.

17
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,840
Speaker 3: Welcome to the radio home of Ronanania, the Car Doctor.

18
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 3: Since nineteen ninety one, this is where car owners the

19
00:00:56,320 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 3: world overturned to for their definitive opinion on autumn to repair.

20
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 3: If your mechanics giving you a busy signal, pick up

21
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 3: the phone and call in the garage doors.

22
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 2: Are opening, but I am here to take your call

23
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 2: at eight five five five six ninety nine hundred and now.

24
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 3: And then I walked through the Lincoln Tunnel, Hee.

25
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 2: Running oh to walk through the Lincoln Tunnel. You know,

26
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,960
Speaker 2: it's funny. But we were talking about that this weekend

27
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 2: as a family family movie weekend Christmas blah blah blah.

28
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,759
Speaker 2: Did you know when they filmed Elf a little bit

29
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 2: of an aside here to show you that I really

30
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 2: am a fountain of useless information at times, that they

31
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 2: filmed that very randomly. Where will what's his name Ferrell

32
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 2: walk through the Lincoln Tunnel in the Elf suit without

33
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 2: a permit? They just like, you know, just could you

34
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 2: imagine the people to look on their faces to see

35
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 2: this giant Elf walking through the Lincoln Tunnel at random

36
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 2: one day. I Mean, you see a lot of strange

37
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 2: things in New York, but boy, that's got to take

38
00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 2: the cake.

39
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 6: That's That's an article the other day said when they

40
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 6: they were used to hearing little bangs and stuff on

41
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 6: the road because he was just out in the road

42
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 6: they were filming, and people would stop and look and

43
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:10,119
Speaker 6: hit the car in front of them.

44
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of that, you know in that movie.

45
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 2: As long as we're on this subject Elf, there's that scene.

46
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 2: There's a there's a couple of scenes where he walks

47
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 2: up to random Santa clauses and pulls down the beer

48
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 2: and goes, you're not the real sant of that kind

49
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 2: of thing. Those are random people, they're not they're not actors.

50
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 2: That was just him just ad libbing his way in

51
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 2: the scene, and they left it in the movie because

52
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 2: they thought it just just crazy stuff. I don't know

53
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 2: where do we want to start. I want to talk

54
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 2: about tire pressure systems today because I thought this was

55
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 2: I'll talk about two vehicles as we kick off this

56
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 2: hour of the Car Doctor.

57
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 5: Welcome.

58
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 2: By the way, I'm Ron an Inian here at eight

59
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 2: five five five six oh ninety nine hundred. We are

60
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 2: live this weekend, Christmas weekend. We're working Christmas weekend. I'm

61
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 2: leaving in fifty five minutes, so I've got to get

62
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 2: to the north. Paul Santa's already texting me and saying,

63
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 2: come on, we gotta go, We gotta get ready. Where

64
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 2: are you? So I'll be out of here early maybe

65
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 2: sort of kind of. I want to talk about a

66
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one Nissan Rogue that came into the shop

67
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 2: this week via another shop. They were working on it

68
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 2: doing tire pressure monitoring system repairs and they couldn't get

69
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 2: the light to go out. They had a problem. And

70
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 2: I'm not sure, you know, we didn't see the beginning

71
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,399
Speaker 2: part of the repair. But it's it's always the same, right,

72
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 2: It's it's look, there's four sensors on most cars. Some

73
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 2: cars have five. Some cars have a tire pressure sensor

74
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 2: in the spare, all right, And you know, each one

75
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 2: of those sensors broadcasts a unique code, a unique digital signal.

76
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 2: You know, ABC D, you know, E F G H Y,

77
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 2: you know, whatever the number is, whatever the combination. It's

78
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 2: usually seven letters, some numbers, some letters, it's a seven

79
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 2: digit something. And you know, they couldn't get the light.

80
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 7: To go out.

81
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 2: And I started to look at it for them because

82
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 2: I knew they were in the middle of a pickle

83
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 2: and a sweat, and I said, all right, let's you know,

84
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 2: let's see what we can do here real quick. And

85
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 2: the right front sensor was not reporting correctly. It got interesting.

86
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 2: And I don't think it's because it's a twenty one

87
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 2: or whatever. It was twenty one, twenty two, whatever it takes.

88
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 2: You know, it was just they hadn't they had the

89
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 2: wrong number in the right front the original sensor. They

90
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 2: brought me the original censor, and I was able to

91
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 2: read it, and the identifier was thirty seven five point

92
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 2: fifty seven Charlie. And the number that I saw in

93
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 2: there was eighty seven five point fifty seven Charlie. They

94
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 2: transposed the three into an eight, so I made it

95
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 2: a three, and the light went out, well, it went

96
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 2: out when they left the shop. And then they came

97
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 2: back to the shop and the light came back on.

98
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:46,840
Speaker 2: And I asked, you know, we were talking about it.

99
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 2: Evidently this had been happening to them too, because they

100
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 2: intentionally made it an eight because they weren't sure if

101
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 2: it was a three or an eighth. They tried it

102
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 2: with a three, and it never It never was any

103
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 2: different with them. They had tried it both ways and

104
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 2: they were still having the issue. And I said, every

105
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 2: time you come back to the yeah, every time we

106
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 2: come back to the shot, I lift it as a three.

107
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 2: I took the old sensor, I drolled a hole in it,

108
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 2: and I said, go for a ride, and went for

109
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 2: a ride. They came back, the light stayed out. They said,

110
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 2: what happened? I said, the car and you got to

111
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 2: watch this about tire pressure sensors. Right, it's crazy, but

112
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 2: on some of them, the battery signal is so strong

113
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,919
Speaker 2: it will that old sensor that's sitting in the garbage

114
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 2: can in front of your tool box will transmit out

115
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 2: to the car in the parking lot five hundred feet away,

116
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 2: and it will see that sensor is a dupe in

117
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 2: the system, but it'll see zero pressure and turn the

118
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 2: light on. Just something to be aware of. You have

119
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 2: to destroy tire pressure sensors when you're done with them.

120
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 2: Drill a hole, crush them in of ice, beat on them,

121
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 2: you know, whatever you gotta do. It's you can't leave

122
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 2: it active because it does have the potential to create

123
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 2: a problem. So I tell you that story of ridiculousness,

124
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 2: all right, so that I can tell you this one.

125
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 2: Then we had a twenty nineteen Ford I guess we're

126
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 2: picking on technology this week. F one P fifty pickup

127
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 2: truck in the shop recently, and the customer complaint was

128
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 2: they would drive along and then all of a sudden,

129
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 2: you know, things would stop working. The instrument cluster would

130
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 2: go haywire, the radio, you know, the horn would start

131
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 2: to blow, not blow, the wipers wouldn't work. It seemed

132
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 2: possessed and there was a pile of fault codes in

133
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 2: that car, like more than I really want to talk

134
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 2: about and can imagine. It just didn't make any sense.

135
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 2: The vehicle was having a total system collapse A twenty

136
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 2: nineteen with barely thirty thousand miles on it, Like, what

137
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 2: the heck's going on here? So I went through diagnostics

138
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 2: and I found a bunch of can network diagnostic fault

139
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 2: codes on the data bus and different things that it

140
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 2: was reporting. And you know, like where why I noticed

141
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 2: that the left rear tail light, just out of the

142
00:06:55,960 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 2: blue unrelated was cracked. They had backed into something and

143
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 2: it was partially filled with water. I said, hmm, because

144
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 2: I know that, you know, LED's the newer head tail lamps.

145
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:14,239
Speaker 2: They do funny things. They monitor a lot through data

146
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 2: control and data signal. In there, I disconnected the tail light.

147
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 2: Do you know that truck ran normal, absolutely perfect, took

148
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 2: away all the fault codes, everything that was everything that

149
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 2: was cock eyed went away. The water was short circuiting

150
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 2: the printed circuit board inside the tail lamp assembly and

151
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 2: creating a problem on the data network. Back to what

152
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 2: I always say to you guys, right, the bad phone

153
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 2: in the house, That was the bad phone in the house,

154
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 2: That was the bad phone on the communication line, bringing

155
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 2: the network down. Of course it brought the customer down.

156
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 2: We told them it was going to be almost thirteen

157
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 2: hundred dollars to put a tail lamp in the truck

158
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 2: because the tailamp assembly was a little over twelve. It

159
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 2: was a crazy number. You know, cars are getting to

160
00:07:58,320 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 2: the point where they are at the point where nobody

161
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 2: can afford to fix them. Never mind, you can't afford

162
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 2: the buying, you can't afford to fix them, and you know,

163
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 2: just just out of control. So just just just be aware.

164
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 2: Technology is out there, but you got to embrace it.

165
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,679
Speaker 2: You gotta love it. And yeah, a bad tail lamp

166
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 2: was creating a driveability problem in a Ford pickup truck.

167
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 2: You just can't make this stuff up. Let's go over

168
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 2: to Tom in Virginia fifteen outy and some questions about

169
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 2: the turbo. Tom. Welcome to the car doctor, sir, How

170
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 2: can I help?

171
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 5: Good afternoon. So it's about a proper operation of a turbo.

172
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,679
Speaker 5: And what I mean is I had a Volvo XC

173
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 5: ninety several years ago and then the owner's manuel It said,

174
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 5: before you start running the car, after you turn it on,

175
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 5: let an idle for a little bit and then warm

176
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 5: the turbo up, and then get going. And then when

177
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 5: you're done driving, it's an idle for maybe a minute

178
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 5: or so, or maybe thirty seconds before he turned off,

179
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 5: just to let it cool down properly. My OUTI twenty

180
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 5: fifteen has a turbo in it, and I've got this

181
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,839
Speaker 5: little nanny cam in it where it says avoid warming

182
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 5: up engine while stationary, go ahead and drive it immediately.

183
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 5: And so you've got these two manufacturers are saying different

184
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 5: things about how to operate or drive a turbot. So

185
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 5: what's the right answer.

186
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 2: I like warming things up. I just do, you know.

187
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:15,319
Speaker 2: But listen, I'm you know, the environmentalists all think I'm crazy.

188
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 2: You know. I'm not about I'm not about hurting the

189
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 2: earth or damaging the environment. But I just think certain

190
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 2: things mechanically need to be warmed up, you know, And

191
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 2: I think turbos are right there with it. I think

192
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 2: turbos need to cool down after a hard pull. I

193
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 2: think idling it for a minute to a minute and

194
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 2: a half isn't the worst idea. You know, you're circulating

195
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 2: the oil away, You're preventing the turbo from coking up,

196
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 2: which is a carbon deposit kind of problem inside of

197
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:44,079
Speaker 2: a turbo charger, and you're taking other oil that's circulating

198
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 2: in the turbo, moving it out and putting fresher oil in,

199
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 2: so to speak. And over that minute and a half

200
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,439
Speaker 2: the temperature starts to come down. You're getting it in

201
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 2: the right direction. I remember years ago, and I don't

202
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 2: think vehicles have changed that much in terms of this conversation.

203
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 2: A friend of mine had an original GMC diesel pickup

204
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 2: truck and there was an option that came from the

205
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 2: dealer at the time. It was a timer and you

206
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 2: could actually you could actually set the timer for ninety

207
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 2: or one hundred and twenty seconds that when you left

208
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 2: the vehicle, pulled the key out, walked away, the truck

209
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,599
Speaker 2: would remain running for that length of time, key in

210
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 2: your pocket, locked up, letting the turbo cool down. Yeah,

211
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,319
Speaker 2: I guess twenty years ago, or whatever time it's been

212
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 2: since Art had that truck, I guess in that timeframe,

213
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 2: oils have gotten better and the mechanics of all this

214
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 2: have gotten better. But I still think the physics apply,

215
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,719
Speaker 2: and I still I still see there's a need for that,

216
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 2: So I wouldn't be.

217
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, and that's what I do.

218
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I.

219
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 5: Let the turbo warm up. I don't care. It's only

220
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 5: like a thirty seconds to a minute before I finally

221
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 5: what I do is I let the rms drop down

222
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 5: to idle, because usually they're running about fifteen hundred or so,

223
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 5: and I let it get down to blow a thousand.

224
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 5: I figure, okay, now it's safe.

225
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 2: Right, yep. I wonder you know everybody's against warming up

226
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 2: vehicles these days. I'm not sure where that came from,

227
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 2: but my concern is, okay on a newer vehicle. So

228
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 2: this is a this is a fifteen This is still

229
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 2: an eight year old car, right, you know, this isn't

230
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 2: a newer This isn't a new vehicle. And you know,

231
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 2: depending upon where you are in the world, if it

232
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:26,079
Speaker 2: goes down below zero or you know, into the negatives

233
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 2: and you start that car up, you know, things have

234
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 2: been known to crack when it gets real cold. Things

235
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 2: have been known to have a problem when it gets

236
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 2: real cold. Where do you want to get stuck warming

237
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,319
Speaker 2: it up in your driveway for three minutes or half

238
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 2: a mile from the house at the stop sign when

239
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 2: a radiator ho is let's go, or something of that nature,

240
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 2: and then have to walk back in the sub zero

241
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 2: temperature and what's that worth? So you know, I know

242
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 2: we're trying to clean up the environment, but we're also

243
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 2: trying to be safe and practical. And I think that,

244
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,479
Speaker 2: you know, the greeny Weenies as we call him. Sometimes

245
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 2: I think this is going a little too far. I

246
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 2: think we've got to uh, you know, I think we've

247
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 2: got to have point of practicality of safety for the

248
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 2: human beings too, because we're driving these cars. So you

249
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 2: keep doing what you're doing, Tom, I think I think

250
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 2: you're doing it right, I really do.

251
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 5: All right, thank you very much.

252
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 2: You're very welcome, sir. You'd be well merry Christmas. Eight

00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 2: Hey, let's do a quick piece of email. By the way,

262
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 2: we're here at eight five five five six zero nine

Speaker 2: nine zero zero night before Christmas is coming up at

264
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 2: the end of this hour. Hey, Ron, I've got the

265
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,680
Speaker 2: opportunity to purchase a twenty fourteen FOURD Escape from a

266
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 2: FAMI memember who can no longer drive. This comes to

267
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,079
Speaker 2: us from Frank. This email came to us this week.

268
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, the car only has nineteen

269
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 2: thousand miles on it. There's a front wheel drive, two

270
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 2: point five liter cars very basic. They want nine or

271
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 2: ten grand for it. I've seen some poort reliability ratings

272
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 2: on this vehicle and I'm a little leery of it.

273
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 2: I will be helping my twenty three year old daughter

274
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 2: buy it to use during grad school. Is this a

275
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 2: good reliable vehicle? Which should I expect to do relative

276
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 2: to maintenance when I buy it. I don't think it's

277
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 2: been driven much recently, and I want to make sure

278
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,319
Speaker 2: it's okay for her since she will be far from home.

279
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 2: Any advice you can offer would be appreciated. Frank. You know, Frank,

280
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,439
Speaker 2: this is almost the same car my daughter went to

281
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 2: grad school and true true story, right, she had a

282
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 2: twenty fourteen Escape. It was an all wheel drive, so

283
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 2: you know this is a front wheel drive. So you know,

284
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 2: this doesn't have a rear differential. You know, I thought

285
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:47,599
Speaker 2: it was a reliable vehicle. Matter of fact, I was

286
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:49,680
Speaker 2: just saying to my daughter this weekend, she's home for

287
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 2: the holidays, visiting us here at home for Christmas, and

288
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 2: we were talking about that car, how it won one

289
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty thousand miles. We got rid of it

290
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 2: at the ten year mark. At the ten year it

291
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 2: was in that year prior, she had put a transmission

292
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 2: in it to the tune of about forty five hundred dollars,

293
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 2: which isn't a lot for a transmission these days. Here's

294
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 2: a car with nineteen thousand miles on it. I don't

295
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 2: think it's going to need anything for a while. I mean,

296
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 2: that's a pretty low number, you know. Naturally, what I

297
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 2: would do is I would go through and do all

298
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 2: the fluids. If it's wet, change it. I wouldn't hesitate,

299
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 2: you know, regardless of mileage, you know, break fluid, transfluid coolant.

300
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 2: I would do a fuel system cleaning to it. And understand,

301
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 2: this is a GDI engine gasoline direct injection, so you're

302
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 2: going to really have to do what I call two

303
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 2: types of fuel system cleaning. You're going to hook to

304
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 2: the fuel rail, which is going to involve you're going

305
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 2: to take out the cowl and go through all that

306
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 2: to get to it. But you're going to do a

307
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 2: rail cleaning and then you're going to get down. We

308
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 2: made an adapter in the shop that allows us to

309
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 2: tie into a manifold vacuum vacuum port nipple at the

310
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 2: throttle body, and you're going to do a a fogging

311
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 2: of the intake system. This way, you clean the injectors,

312
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 2: you clean the back of the valves, you clean the

313
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 2: top of the pistons. You're doing a very thorough carbon cleaning,

314
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 2: especially on a vehicle it's well now nine years old,

315
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 2: and you know, nine years old and it's been sitting

316
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 2: or low mileage. So by definite, by all definite means

317
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 2: a good fuel system cleaning is necessary, and I think mandatory.

318
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 2: And then you know, look at brakes, Look at tires.

319
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 2: Our rear brakes tended to go first on those vehicles.

320
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 2: I'm not sure why I've seen more than a few

321
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 2: of them. Matter of fact, Danny keeps saying I'm the

322
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 2: escape expert in the shop. I just don't think he

323
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 2: likes working on him. But that's a whole nother story.

324
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 2: But I think they're good vehicles, I really do. I

325
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 2: think that. I think the Escape was one of the

326
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 2: better vehicles for it put out in that timeframe. And

327
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 2: of course, you know, as it gets miles on it,

328
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 2: I think there was issues. I don't think that's completely

329
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 2: impossible on anything. But you know, if that's the number,

330
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 2: if it's nine or ten grand, you can't buy anything

331
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 2: for ten grand today. You know, ten grand, they might

332
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 2: show you the brochure and you know it's just going

333
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 2: to take some good common sense maintenance and regular care

334
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 2: and you know, away you go. I wouldn't be afraid

335
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 2: of it. I really wouldn't. I would just you know,

336
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 2: be prepared. In all honesty, Frank, you're probably going to

337
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 2: spend twenty grand to get a decent used vehicle today,

338
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 2: and maybe a little more. So you're coming out ten

339
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 2: grand ahead. Put five grand on the side. You've got

340
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 2: something documented for repairs. But there's not a whole lot

341
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 2: that goes wrong with those vehicles. As a matter of fact,

342
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 2: you can call in and talk to tom My engineer.

343
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 2: Tom's got a fifteen Escape with I don't know, three

344
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 2: hundred and eighty thousand miles on it. We keep threatening

345
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 2: to donate it to the Smithsonian when he finally decides

346
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 2: to get rid of it, but we want to try

347
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 2: and get a half a million miles out of it.

348
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 2: So if that's any indication of poor reliability, I don't know,

349
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 2: you know who made those reliability ratings, Consumer Reports or

350
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 2: some other magazine. I can tell you stories of what

351
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 2: I think of them too. I don't think there's an

352
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 2: accuracy there, So just just be mindful. This comes to

353
00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 2: us from Philip and Rico the super Dog. Hey, mister Nane,

354
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 2: and I remember listening to a passed episode of The

355
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 2: Car Doctor and you referenced the chemical product that you liked,

356
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:08,399
Speaker 2: and I am contacting you to get the name of

357
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 2: it please. The vehicles of two thousand and eight Ford

358
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 2: Focus se with seventy one thousand miles on it, which

359
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 2: had a new rack and pinion installed about a year ago.

360
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,400
Speaker 2: You know, rack and pinions are another component that there

361
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 2: seems to be a problem in getting quality replacement parts

362
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,880
Speaker 2: from or for you know, it's a real issue. We're

363
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 2: seeing a lot of that, although we're seeing less rack

364
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 2: replacement now because so many well, let's hydraulic liquid power

365
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 2: steering rack replacement because everything's gone electric, but we are

366
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 2: seeing a fair share of electric rack replacement too. At

367
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 2: this time, there has been a small leak of power

368
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 2: steering fluid off and on. I recall from listening to

369
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 2: your programs as a company out there, that you made

370
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 2: a purchase of a product might be worth helping to

371
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 2: try and solve this problem. I greatly appreciate you taking

372
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 2: the time the remay email and look forward to hearing

373
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 2: from you with your recommendation. Philip and Rico the super.

374
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:54,399
Speaker 7: Dog you know.

375
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 2: I actually answered Philip and Rico during the week by email,

376
00:17:58,040 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 2: but I wanted to put this up here for you

377
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 2: guys to hear. It's Lucas, Lucas Proroducts. That's a white bottle,

378
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 2: red ink on the bottle, short, little bottle, less than

379
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,679
Speaker 2: a quart. I believe it is a little more than

380
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 2: a plint, little less than a quart if I recall correctly,

381
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:16,400
Speaker 2: but good stuff. Lucas makes a power steering fluid sealer

382
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,199
Speaker 2: or a power steering fluid that helps seal leaks, and

383
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 2: it's it's worth a shot, especially in a case like

384
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,680
Speaker 2: this on an older vehicle with a replacement Ranck. It

385
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 2: might just be a little spe So that's the answer

386
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:27,919
Speaker 2: for one and all. I'm not an any in the

387
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 2: car doctor. I'll be back right after this.

388
00:18:29,600 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 7: Don't go away. Look at Frosty go year.

389
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,199
Speaker 2: I mean a little Mariah Carey and we could have

390
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 2: some real good Christmas Carol music. No, oh, come on, Tom,

391
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 2: you know what's wrong? So I know that's your favorite singer. No,

392
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 2: you're sure that's it? Positive? Okay, just rather hear you

393
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 2: sing really yes, because I can shut you off. Tom

394
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 2: has a Mariah Carey problem, folks. He would really appreciate

395
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 2: it if you would send him condolence cards with pictures

396
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 2: of Mariah or better yet, recordings of her voice to

397
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 2: his home address. I'll give it out after the show today.

398
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 2: So just pay attention. Let's get over and talk to

399
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 2: Let's go talk to Lois in New Jersey thirteen Lexus

400
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 2: and some questions and problems. I, Lois, how can I

401
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:45,679
Speaker 2: help you?

402
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 4: I have on Lee. I had a knocking or squeaking noise,

403
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 4: very slight on the passage side of the car, and

404
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,159
Speaker 4: I brought it into my mechanic and he changed the

405
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 4: bushings in the back of the car. All right, don't

406
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:04,360
Speaker 4: have the noise, and he's absolutely baffled. I've been going

407
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 4: to him forty five years and this is the first

408
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 4: time that I ever had a problem that he couldn't find.

409
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 4: And it's intermittent now, so it's hard to find. He

410
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 4: took it out for a couple of test drive and

411
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:18,160
Speaker 4: I'm just wondering what it could be.

412
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 2: Okay, So when you say bushings, there's lots of bushings

413
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 2: in the rear of the vehicle. Did he happen to say,

414
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 2: was it swaybar bushings?

415
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 4: I think he did say swaybar bushing.

416
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 2: Okay, So because there are other bushings that hold the

417
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 2: links together, you know, think of the way your think

418
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:38,919
Speaker 2: of the way your fingers attached to your hand and

419
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 2: your shoulder, your arm, your shoulder to the socket. There's

420
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,120
Speaker 2: all different attachment points. One of the things he may

421
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 2: want to try and do well. Actually, two thoughts when

422
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,879
Speaker 2: he checks this, do you know is he checking it

423
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 2: on a traditional lift where all the suspension is hanging

424
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 2: in the air or does he have a drive on

425
00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:58,919
Speaker 2: lift that he can drive it on and put it

426
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 2: up to get a look at it. One would be

427
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 2: the go ahead.

428
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,159
Speaker 4: I'm sorry he puts it up on a lift.

429
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 2: Right, is it where the wheels are hanging, or he

430
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 2: drives it on hanging hanging, he may get to the

431
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 2: root cause if he can find a drive on lift.

432
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,360
Speaker 2: You know, if the problem happens on the ground when

433
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 2: the suspension is loaded, it's a different look in a

434
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 2: different dynamic than if the wheels are just hanging down.

435
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 2: Do you get what I'm saying? Yeah, Well, well you know,

436
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 2: think of it this way. If you lift the car

437
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:39,640
Speaker 2: and the wheels are hanging and the problem occurs anytime

438
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 2: the wheel hits a bump, that's a loaded suspension problem.

439
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 2: If the wheels are hanging, it's it's different dynamics, different

440
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 2: forces are at work where you may not see it

441
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 2: with the wheels merely hanging in the air. So we

442
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,199
Speaker 2: want to try and replicate and duplicate what happens to

443
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 2: it on the road.

444
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:02,360
Speaker 4: Right, It doesn't when you're driving straight. It's only when

445
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 4: you turn to the right.

446
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 2: Okay, So when he turns to the right, is the

447
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 2: noise from the front of the back of the car

448
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 2: back all right? And he knows this because he hits

449
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 2: he hits a little bump with the front wheels and

450
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 2: no noise, hits a bump with the back wheels, and

451
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 2: he has a.

452
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 4: Noise, I guess, so I really don't know all the details.

453
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,399
Speaker 2: Well, how does it happen for you? How do you

454
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 2: hear the noise?

455
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, I hear them in the back of the car,

456
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:33,120
Speaker 4: right when I turned to the right.

457
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 2: Okay, so do this. You ever notice how in the

458
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 2: road you're driving along on a flat road there's a

459
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 2: recessed there's a small divot in the road, a pothole

460
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:46,160
Speaker 2: that's that's lower than the rest of the road. Yep,

461
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 2: all right, if you hit that, do you make the noise? No?

462
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 2: So it's only on a turn on a flat level road, correct, Okay.

463
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 4: No bumps, No, no problem with bumps, all right?

464
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 2: And is it a thunk? Is it a squeak? Is

465
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 2: it a squeals?

466
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:12,920
Speaker 4: It's a very slight bumping noise with a little squeak,

467
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 4: all right.

468
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:17,399
Speaker 2: So the squeak is telling me something's metal on metal,

469
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,119
Speaker 2: something is making contact metal on metal where it's not

470
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 2: supposed to. So now I'm going to look around under

471
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,120
Speaker 2: the car. I'm looking for a contact point of two

472
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,679
Speaker 2: pieces of metal that looks shiny like they're rubbing on

473
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 2: each other. But something made him think it was swaybar bushings.

474
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 2: And I'm not saying he's wrong, but what made him

475
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 2: think it was swaybar bushings? He had to hear something

476
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:43,719
Speaker 2: in his road test, and I would ask him that.

477
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 2: The other advantage of doing this on a drive on

478
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:51,119
Speaker 2: lift is you will catch all of the suspension in

479
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 2: a loaded position. You may find the fault without even

480
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 2: realizing it. This could be a bad swaybar link that

481
00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,080
Speaker 2: when he checks it up in the air there are

482
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,879
Speaker 2: links and bushings holding a sway bar to a vehicle.

483
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,959
Speaker 2: Checking it up in the air may not reveal if

484
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 2: the wheels are hanging, because then the swaybar is loaded.

485
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 2: You ever have a pain in your elbow, okay, and

486
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 2: you go to the doctor and the doctor checks, and

487
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 2: sometimes he says, you know, just your hang your arm

488
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 2: out in the air and he looks at it one way,

489
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:22,440
Speaker 2: and then he tells you to put your hand flat

490
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 2: on the desk and he feels your elbow under pressure,

491
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 2: and he feels something different, same thing, same thing, same thing,

492
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:37,400
Speaker 2: different model, all right, So sometimes you're very welcome. Sometimes

493
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:39,439
Speaker 2: doing it on a drive on just makes it that

494
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 2: much easier, all right. And that's where you want to

495
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 2: go with that, you know. As a last thought before

496
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 2: you go, Lois is perhaps there are different products out

497
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 2: there to lubricate some of the rubber components, a combination

498
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 2: of silicon spray and lubricating fluid. Maybe some of the

499
00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 2: bushings on this vehicle are dry, Maybe the struts or

500
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 2: the shocks have loosened up, and just an overall tightening

501
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 2: of the rear suspension would do it too. But I

502
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 2: think you're gonna find that best, like I said, on

503
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 2: a drive on lift, not just as necessarily one that's hanging.

504
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 2: So by all means, try that and get back to us.

505
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 2: We're here if you need more answers At eighty five

506
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:18,880
Speaker 2: five five six zero nine nine zero zero, I'm running

507
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:30,440
Speaker 2: ending in the car Doctor. We'll return right after this.

508
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 2: Welcome back Running the Card Doctor. By the way, I

509
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,919
Speaker 2: should you know, for the for the deep fans of

510
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:47,880
Speaker 2: the Card Doctor radio show, this would have been Uncle

511
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:51,919
Speaker 2: Steve's hundred and first birthday. Wow, right, just you know

512
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:55,399
Speaker 2: this crazy who was a Christmas baby, talk about you know,

513
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 2: being the savior, right to go through World War two

514
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,919
Speaker 2: and sixty three combat missions and survive every one of them,

515
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 2: shot down three times twice in the channel. He must

516
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:06,159
Speaker 2: have had a little bit of Christmas luck to get

517
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 2: him through all that. But Uncle Steve would have been

518
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:09,640
Speaker 2: one hundred and one, and I can't help but think

519
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,159
Speaker 2: of him today as we do this broadcast. You know,

520
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 2: it's funny. We were talking about him today at breakfast

521
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 2: at the house and somebody mentioned what was the most

522
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 2: outstanding characteristic Uncle Steve, And I said, I think it

523
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 2: was his years. I said, I swear he could probably

524
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 2: fly with him. They always used to kid him and

525
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:29,719
Speaker 2: call them Dumbo, like the little baby elephant. But that's

526
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 2: a whole nother story. So I want to talk about this,

527
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 2: you know, a common problem that we see that I want,

528
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 2: you know, we're talking about common problems today and the

529
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 2: car doctors as we kind of wind down the year,

530
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 2: and some of the things we've seen in the shop,

531
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 2: and just wanted to give you food for thought. You know,

532
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 2: we used to see this years ago, broken motor mounts

533
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 2: and some of the chaos that broken motor mounts would cause.

534
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 2: And it was traditional that broken motor mounts would be

535
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,880
Speaker 2: caused or would cause, you know, problems with the way

536
00:26:56,920 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 2: the transmission operated. He always knew third or forty years ago.

537
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,640
Speaker 2: I've been driving a long time. Guys that you'd step

538
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 2: on a car with a bad motor mountain, you'd feel

539
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 2: the motor come up and cothunk, and you've always got

540
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 2: in that car and the shift indicator was off half

541
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:13,239
Speaker 2: a tooth, you know, it was off a little bit

542
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 2: on the d tent, and you could tell that there

543
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,920
Speaker 2: was a problem in the way that the engine was sitting.

544
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 2: It wasn't sitting correctly. Well, not too long ago, we

545
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 2: had an eight Chevy Suburban come in that that had

546
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:31,120
Speaker 2: a problem with intermittent random It would just shut off

547
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 2: in stall and it would, you know, flip on dashlights.

548
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 2: And you know, clearly everybody had tried working on this car,

549
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,919
Speaker 2: and it was all sorts of high tech fixes and

550
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,159
Speaker 2: all sorts of solutions that they were trying to do

551
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 2: to it. And you know, the first time I got

552
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:47,359
Speaker 2: in it, I didn't catch it at first. I didn't

553
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 2: notice it at first. But one time I was sitting

554
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 2: at a stop sign and I went to make a

555
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 2: left turn and I accelerated a little harder than normal,

556
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:59,160
Speaker 2: just trying to replicate it, and I felt the motor kathump,

557
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 2: and I went geez, I got a broken motor mount.

558
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:05,359
Speaker 2: It's gotta be And you know, I went back to

559
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 2: the shop and sure enough, you know, power breaking into

560
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 2: the shop, I had a busted left side motormount. And

561
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 2: they were common, right, that whole generation of GM trucks,

562
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:18,160
Speaker 2: suburban's tahoes, all of those would break them, would break

563
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:19,639
Speaker 2: a motor mount. It was not. It was not an

564
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 2: uncommon fault and uncommon failure. So I put a motor

565
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:27,880
Speaker 2: mount in it, and I kept thinking about could there

566
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 2: be a connection between the motor mount and this random,

567
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 2: you know, vehicle acting up doing odd things, you know,

568
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 2: shutting off and you know, the tack not working properly

569
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 2: and so on and so forth. So I started looking

570
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 2: around the engine compartment and you know, if you ever

571
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 2: look at one of those, the wiring horness comes back

572
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 2: along the back of the firewall over the passenger side,

573
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, over the driver's side, goes over the passenger

574
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 2: side too, but it goes over the driver's side valve

575
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 2: cover area, and then it runs over to the main

576
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 2: fuse box, goes under the booster, goes around the bulkhead

577
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 2: connectors right there, and then it feeds the main fuse

578
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 2: box on the driver's side Fenderwell, right, so there's an

579
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 2: awful lot of information, there's an awful lot of critical

580
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 2: manufacturing data points that's there. And it turns out and

581
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 2: if you look at those cars, because it turns out

582
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 2: that's a coil near plug system they called it, meaning

583
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 2: that the ignition coils are mounted to the valve cover

584
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 2: and then there's a short spark plug wire that goes

585
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 2: down to each individual plug. And you know that's coil

586
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 2: near plug, not coil on plug. That's the difference. And

587
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 2: they're mounted to a plate and the back of the

588
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 2: plate has a couple of studs sticking up the way

589
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 2: the coils mount up. And in every time the motor

590
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:54,479
Speaker 2: mount would let loose, that cathunk you would see, you know,

591
00:29:55,440 --> 00:30:00,120
Speaker 2: that stud started to puncture the wiring harness. And I

592
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 2: guess every time they did it, it's just a little

593
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 2: bit more and a little bit harder, and eventually it

594
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 2: just it just started to break wiring and it got

595
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 2: to the point where you would step on it, the

596
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 2: motor would come up, the stud would go through the wire,

597
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 2: it would ground out or whatever it did. All right,

598
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 2: it it caused you know, loss of signal it was bending,

599
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 2: breaking the wire, ended up preparing the harness, fixing the

600
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 2: motor mount and the and the vehicle was fixed. You know,

601
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 2: it just reminded me years ago we would see things

602
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:36,959
Speaker 2: that were strictly mechanical, you know, in terms of failure,

603
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 2: bad motor mount, you'd see it a fault in the

604
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 2: way the trans operated. Uh, you know, things like that. Well,

605
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 2: now we're seeing that broken tran, that broken broken mount,

606
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 2: the way the trans operates still affected. Now that now

607
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 2: electronics are starting to be affected. Electronics are starting to

608
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 2: fail and go bad. And you know, just to point

609
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 2: that out that you've got to look at everything. I

610
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 2: just I, I just think it's so important. You know,

611
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 2: Danny and I go through this in the shop all

612
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 2: the time. We're looking at certain things, trying to get

613
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 2: a bearing on you know, what's happening. And you've got

614
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 2: to take well, the last three cars did this. You've

615
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 2: got to break that down into tell me what's good.

616
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what's bad. You know, we go through

617
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 2: it all the time. We sit down and just break

618
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 2: it down as a simple you know, because the vehicle

619
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 2: didn't do that when it was new, right that that

620
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:29,239
Speaker 2: seven suburban didn't do that when it was new. When

621
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 2: it was new, it operated fine, It operated as intended,

622
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 2: it operated as designed. And I think that's just such

623
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 2: a big part of diagnostics today that we're still looking

624
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 2: for problems. We're still looking for Well, it's got this

625
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 2: fault code. Let's read the diagnostic tree. I don't think

626
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 2: you can read a diagnostic tree. I think you know

627
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 2: you can use it, you know, And I still I

628
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 2: will read them. I will read a float chart a

629
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 2: diagnostic tree because I'm looking for specs. I'm looking for

630
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 2: this code sets when the voltage hits eleven point two vaults.

631
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 2: If it's an eleven point three, am I gonna you know,

632
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 2: and I'm testing something it's eleven point three? Am I

633
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 2: gonna fail it? I'm gonna I'm gonna judge it real good,

634
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 2: because how do I know how accurate my meter is?

635
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 2: If it's eleven point one, does that mean it's an

636
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 2: automatic failure? You know, there's where's that fine line? So

637
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 2: diagnostics has to take a different view, I think going

638
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 2: forward in twenty twenty four, uh, you know, as we

639
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 2: as we move forward trying to repair cars, we've got

640
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 2: to be aware by the way if you're if you're

641
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 2: deep into electronics, it's the end of the year, you know.

642
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 2: I know I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna go through

643
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 2: all my electrical leads and probably throw half of them out.

644
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 2: I buy new electrical leads every year to every eighteen months,

645
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 2: depending on how much I've used them, because depending on

646
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 2: how they've gotten bent and twisted and you know, floated around,

647
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 2: you know, And I'm also going to replace most of

648
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 2: my probes. You know, there's a there's a bulletin out

649
00:32:57,760 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 2: there somewhere I don't recall from who I think it

650
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 2: was from flu UK actually that talked about the internal

651
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 2: or the resistance, the outside resistance that builds up on

652
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 2: electrical probes, and it's just very very important that they're

653
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 2: kept in premium peak condition.

654
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 5: Now.

655
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 2: It may not have been so critical on computer cars

656
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 2: ten years ago, five years ago, two years ago, trust me,

657
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 2: the ones we're starting to see as the twenty ones,

658
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 2: twenty two, and twenty threes come in, it's getting to

659
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 2: be very very critical. So by all means, this is

660
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:30,360
Speaker 2: a good time of the year. If you need some

661
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 2: last minute Christmas presents for that mechanic in your life,

662
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 2: consider buying them some electrical probes. So it's just something

663
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 2: good to think about. I'm ronnin Any and the car

664
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:46,440
Speaker 2: doctor coming up next to a treat. Twas the night

665
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 2: before Christmas, and all through the dark, not a car

666
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 2: was still broken. All the plugs had their spark, the

667
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 2: wrenches were stashed all snug in their boxes. While me

668
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 2: by myself was having Christmas party leftovers, some bagels and

669
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 2: loxes from the lot, there rose such a clatter. I

670
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 2: sprang to my feet and yelled, Hey, what's the matter?

671
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 5: Now?

672
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:08,319
Speaker 2: What to my bloodshot, tired eyes should appear? But some

673
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:12,400
Speaker 2: crazy old guy one sleigh with reindeer. I winced, and

674
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 2: I cried, Oh great, just one more. I'd rather sit

675
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:16,720
Speaker 2: back and have a cup of tea and some smores.

676
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:19,479
Speaker 2: He approached the front door with a smile so bright

677
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 2: I quickly unlocked it and turned back on the office light.

678
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 2: Excuse me, kind sir, but I'm having some trouble. The

679
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 2: left runner on my sleigh has started to wobble. The

680
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 2: balance is wrong and it pulls to the right. The

681
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 2: reindeer working too hard this cold night. I have so

682
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:35,839
Speaker 2: much to do and no time left to do it.

683
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,440
Speaker 2: Do you think that you could well please get right

684
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:41,279
Speaker 2: to it without saying a word. I went to work

685
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:43,760
Speaker 2: right away. Too bad. The alignment machine had no specks

686
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 2: for a sleigh. Meanwhile the reindeer were prancing around that

687
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 2: Rootolph in common. What a couple of clowns. In a

688
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:53,760
Speaker 2: matter of moments from time one point two, the runner

689
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,440
Speaker 2: was straight and the alignment done too. I helped him

690
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 2: load up all the presents but one. He left it

691
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 2: to pay me for cash he had none. I hope

692
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 2: it's from snap on a half inch drive air gun.

693
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:07,440
Speaker 2: He started the sleigh by merely calling their names A

694
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 2: dasher and dancer, Donna and Blitzen. Get up off your

695
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 2: butt's Rudolph comment fixing It started to idle and float.

696
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 4: In the air.

697
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:17,799
Speaker 2: Then Rudolph lit up the sky with his nose extraordinary,

698
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:20,960
Speaker 2: and I heard him exclaim this could have been quite

699
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 2: a mess. The car doctor rings true. These mechanics aren't expensive,

700
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:32,879
Speaker 2: they're really priceless.

701
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:41,279
Speaker 4: And may

702
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 2: Chris Messus be
